Signs of the Moon

"Who are we?Are we who we choose to be?Or do we have no choice at all?Mother MoonThe Crazy QueenIt's her gameA rigged gameThe world is a playing fieldThese are her mad rulesAnd we are her piecesEach of us knows her faceAnd yet, she has five facesSo what do we do?Who are we?"

This book includes:• Chapters devoted to each of the five auspices. In each, you'll find in-character artifacts discussing the histories and lives of those within the auspices, and you'll also find new weapons for your characters: Gifts, rites, lodges, as well as Auspice Aspects that characters can choose to hone in on how their characters best embody the auspice they represent.

• A Storytelling chapter dedicated to discussing how best to use auspice in your game from both a practical and theoretical perspective, as well as a frank discussion on creating new auspices and new Gifts.

• A series of Storytelling Adventure System scenes meant to serve as "auspice challenges" - these scenes are bound to different auspices and can be dropped into your games to highlight the importance of one's moon.

For use with the World of Darkness and Werewolf the Forsaken rulebooks.

A superbly presented and very humane piece of literature. Every page reflects the best possible digital care and attention to detail. They were made by a sculptor's hand and the content was written by the most creative of White Wolf's staff. The auspices [...]

An excellent product which offers a nice range of background information and setting ideas to help deepen character concepts, and even new gifts and powers to add flavor and make your character unique from others. [...]

'Signs of the Moon' is destined to become one of the most dog-eared (no pun intended) books at your table as it clearly offers something for everyone. Each of the Signs is given it's own chapter, which includes inventive props in the form of diaries, [...]

Excellent looking book/pdf. The artwork is terrific and it's an interesting read. The biggest problem is that it's very art intensive, including complete backgrounds which means it will cost a fortune to print it yourself. This is an ideal iPad book. [...]

A very solid addition (or end?) to the Werewolf/Forsaken line, which boasts a very thorough and entertaining look at each of the five auspices. Structually, it reads a bit like a slightly lighter version of the 5 clanbooks released for 'Vampire,' especial [...]

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
